Another one what?
You can't keep calling people names every time they call you on how
wrong you are.
It's like this. You are protected by the rule of law. The rule of law
and its attendant lack of arbitrariness make it possible for you to
live under the relative freedom to make the kind of glib, ignorant
statements that you do. Clearly it was bequeathed to you by people
with greater vision and a better understanding of what's important
than you posess. The rule of law applies to everyone, not just people
you approve of. If that were not the case, it would not be the rule of
law, it would just be the abtitrariness of those in power helping
their friends and punishing their enemies like they've been doing for
thousands of years. You want to go back to that? (Rhetorical
question.)
